I am a 42-year-old mother of three amazing children. My daughter, Kristy, is 25. My son, Dylan, is 17. My son, Logan, is 10. I also have a 5-year-old granddaughter, Makayla; and a grandson, Mason, born on 10-10-10. Yes, I am a grandmother; however, I prefer to be called Meme and I make grand-parenting look good.

I live by, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." If everyone else in the world did this, this world would be a better place. I also truly believe that everything happens for a reason. I don't regret anything that I have ever done or being with anyone from my past because that is what made me the person that I am today.

I don't enjoy dating or wasting my time. I also refuse to rush...typical woman, huh. I am looking for a best friend, someone to share everything with. I want someone that I can talk to about anything and everything; someone that I can come home to; someone who loves children and understands them; someone who concentrates on the positives in life and avoids negativity at all cost; someone who is tired of dating and wasting time on relationships that are going nowhere; someone that is completely content with snuggling on the sofa and watching movies; the Christmas tree; or the fire in the fireplace, yet enjoys dancing and vacationing and partying (a little every now and then); someone who knows what they want and will work to achieve it; someone that supports me in my goals and understands when I have to work 14 hours a day at times; someone who agrees that there is never a reason for violence or to yell; someone that knows and practices the art of compromise; someone that knows that trust is a given until given a reason not to; someone that gives and receives equally; someone that knows and appreciates what they have BEFORE it is too late; someone that is romantic and realizes that romance doesn't have to be expensive, just a simple call to say, "I was thinking of you; or "just wanted you to know that I love you"; or a kiss that takes your breath away; a smile from across the room; a touch that makes your heart skip a beat. I want someone to grow old with; someone who is willing to keep active and healthy to grow old with me; someone that will love me the way that I will love them...unconditionally, in sickness or in health, for richer or poorer, till death do us part... Am I dreaming or can that actually happen? Is there someone that can give me everything I want?

I wasn't born yesterday, so don't try to be something that you are not. Your actions will speak louder than words. I am not a booty call; so, if that's what you are looking for, you are wasting your time. I don't want to hear excuses about your heart being broken. We have all had our hearts broken. I am smart enough to know that if you guard your heart you are not giving me 100% of what you truly are and can be, then you don't deserve 100% of me. I am still the same person I have always been - although my heart has been broken - but I will not judge every man on one man's ignorance. I will continue to be the same person...the reason you fall in love...and the reason you will hate yourself if you take me for granted and lose me and don't realize it until it is too late. FYI - if you think you must pretend to be something you are not to attract a woman, it may work...for a little while...until your true self be known...and then it's over. Why not take the time to find someone to accept you the way you are...that way it lasts forever.

Oh, and one more thing...A true man does not need to romance a different girl every night, a true man romances the same girl for the rest of her life.

I am faithful, honest, and fun

I am enjoying every minute of every day; working to achieve my goals; loving and raising my boys; trying to stay healthy and active; learning from mistakes and trying not to make more; and concentrating on the positive side of everything and avoiding the negative to keep my sanity!

I am really good at everything I do because I always put forth 100%. I am an excellent assistant; significant other; mother; sister; daughter; and friend.

The first things people usually notice about me would be my eyes, smile, personality, and ...

I love all music and especially any music that I can dance to, which is pretty much anything...lol (I would love to take ball room and salsa dance lessons). I am starting to embrace country, it can be very romantic. I love pasta, mexican and seafood. My favorite restaurant is Margaritas and I must have a Margarita...LOL

Jesus, family, friends, honesty, fidelity, positivity

I spend a lot of time thinking about my future and what it has in store for me now.

I have no typical Friday night and I like it that way.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here is that I am not willing to admit anything private here.

If you are honest, faithful, friendly, stay away from all negativity, positive and looking for someone that has the same traits (basically what I described in detail of what I want).
